R. Pavithra, Jueying Li, Sam Goundar, Min Dugki, R Rohini

Abstract


Autonomous greenhouses equipped with AI-driven systems are transforming traditional agriculture by enabling precise climate control and optimizing plant growth conditions. This paper explores the technologies behind autonomous greenhouses, focusing on AI algorithms for real-time monitoring and management of environmental parameters such as temperature, humidity, and light. By presenting case studies, the paper highlights the benefits of autonomous greenhouses, including increased efficiency, resource conservation, and improved crop yields. Additionally, the challenges of implementing these advanced systems in diverse agricultural settings are discussed, along with future prospects for autonomous greenhouse technology.
